Mayday Parker 2/3

Mayday Parker 23

"Three, two, one... All right, Peter, you can open your eyes now!"

Peter Parker slowly opened his eyes before the enormous full-length mirror.

The moment he saw the "little girl" in the mirror, Little Peter was instantly dumbfounded. Oh my god, was that really him in the mirror?

He was way too cute!

But at the same time, it felt so embarrassing!

Peter Parker felt his cheeks burning, yet he still could not help secretly glancing at the mirror once, twice, countless times.

Looking at her masterpiece, Rimuru felt an endless sense of accomplishment.

Her eye for this had indeed been right. Peter Parker was simply perfect for Women's Clothing. Her three days of cramming every aspect of Women's Clothing had not been wasted.

After Rimuru's careful selection, Peter Parker wore a white shirt under a fitted little suit jacket, with a simple plaid skirt, stockings, little leather shoes, a golden wig, and an adorable butterfly hairpin.

Perhaps because Little Peter's sense of shame had completely exploded, his little face was flushed, and his movements were somewhat restrained and bashful. Yet because of that, he seemed all the more girlish.

At first glance, "she" looked like a delicately carved little girl, utterly adorable yet exceptionally shy.

Even knowing Peter Parker's true identity, Rimuru still felt her heartbeat quicken.

The famous words of those gentlemanly predecessors were indeed incredibly apt: anyone this cute had to be a boy!

Since he had not reached puberty yet, Little Peter's Adam's apple had not begun protruding. In this Women's Clothing outfit, he could be said to look utterly flawless, without the slightest giveaway.

Perfect!

Seeing Rimuru's somewhat wicked smile, Peter Parker felt a chill run down his back.

What was with this ominous feeling?

At the same time, Peter Parker thought of another, even more important question—he was wearing Women's Clothing, but he had not become stronger!

"Um, Master Rimuru, I don't think I've gotten stronger?"

Peter Parker said bashfully, his cheeks flushed red.

Rimuru's cheeks reddened as well. She coughed and said, "Of course not, because there's still one ritual you haven't completed!"

"There's another ritual?"

Peter Parker's big eyes were full of confusion. Rimuru had not mentioned any ritual before making him wear Women's Clothing!

Could Rimuru be tricking him?

No, no, no. Rimuru was such a good person. How could she possibly trick him?

He had to be overthinking it!

I actually doubted Rimuru. Peter, Peter, compared to kindhearted, upright Master Rimuru, you're absolutely terrible!

After mentally straightening himself out, Little Peter regained his composure and asked, "Master Rimuru, what ritual is still needed? I'll definitely complete it one hundred percent!"

"Good. That's the mindset a true strong person should have..."

Imitating All Might, Rimuru pointed at Peter Parker and declared grandly, "Peter, you will definitely become stronger!"

"I..."

Little Peter covered his mouth with one hand, tears involuntarily welling up in his eyes. Master Rimuru, you were truly too great!

"Are you ready?"

Little Peter was brimming with enthusiasm. "Master Rimuru, just tell me what to do!"

Rimuru said, "Good. First, stretch out your right hand and make a fist."

Peter said, "Done! I've already finished!"

Rimuru said, "Put your little clenched fist beside your head, then tilt your head slightly and rest it against your fist."

Peter asked, "Like this?"

Rimuru said, "Too stiff. Relax, relax. Yes, yes, your aptitude is quite good. Just like that. Close your right eye, stick your tongue out slightly to the right... Smile, smile, your face is too stiff..."

This... did not seem right?

Why did it feel like he was acting cute?

More importantly, it was so embarrassing!

Click!

The sound of a camera shutter rang out, and the flash nearly blinded him.

Huh?

Master Rimuru was... taking pictures?

What was she taking pictures for?

A thought once again uncontrollably rose in Peter Parker's heart... Could Master Rimuru be tricking him?

Gulp!

Little Peter swallowed and weakly asked, "Master Rimuru, were you taking pictures just now?"

Rimuru nodded. "Sorry, I forgot to turn off the sound and flash."

Master Rimuru's expression just now had looked rather punchable!

What should he do? That thought in his heart was growing uncontrollably wild. What should he do?

Peter Parker timidly asked, "Master Rimuru, what are you taking pictures for?"

"Dummy!"

Rimuru knocked Peter Parker on the head. "Of course it's to keep a record! Otherwise, how would I know whether your pose is standard or not?"

So that was it!

Peter Parker suddenly understood. In such a short time, he had misunderstood Master Rimuru twice. Uncle Ben had taught him so much, yet he had not absorbed any of it.

Peter, Peter, you still need to work harder!

Ten minutes later.

"Good, Peter. You learn quickly. As expected of the genius I chose!"

Peter Parker felt as though he had been injected with adrenaline. Had he finally passed?

That was great!

"Master Rimuru, can I become stronger now?"

Rimuru nodded. "Of course! All right, next, we'll learn the second movement of the ritual."

Little Peter collapsed. "Huh? There's a second movement too?"

Rimuru said solemnly, "Peter, are you going to give up? Tell me loudly, Peter, are you the kind of person who gives up easily?"

Little Peter's face flushed red as he said proudly, "No! I'm not that kind of person!"

Rimuru said, "Good. Make little fists with both hands, then place them against your chest. Puff out your little cheeks, yes, then shake your head from side to side... Pfft, beautifully done..."

Half an hour later.

Having successfully completed the nine ritual movements Rimuru required, Little Peter's face was bright red. Perhaps from exhaustion, he panted delicately.

"M-Master, I've completed them all!"

Rimuru nodded in satisfaction. What a bountiful harvest!

"Great, Peter. You have outstandingly completed my trial. In the name of Rimuru Tempest, I grant you the name [Mayday]. From now on, when you are in Women's Clothing, you shall be Spider-Girl [Mayday]!"

Mayday?

Spider-Girl?

Why did she have to call him Spider-Girl and give him a girl's name?

Wait, did that mean wearing Women's Clothing was not just a one-time thing?

Oh, my god!

But before he could protest, Peter Parker suddenly felt a Holy Light envelop his body. In an instant, Peter Parker felt as though he were soaking in a hot spring, every inch of his body utterly comfortable.

It was an indescribably mystical sensation. Peter Parker could not find any words to describe it, but he simply felt wonderful. Every pore on his body seemed to open, and a warm current surged through him.

And the name Mayday had been branded into his soul, as though he had always been meant to be called Mayday.

Was this what Master Rimuru meant when she said Women's Clothing could make him stronger?

He had done it. He had really done it!

Master Rimuru, you were truly one of the best people in the world! Your kindness had given him a second life—you were the one who had recognized his talent!

Huh?

"A kindness like rebirth," "one who recognizes talent"? When had he learned these phrases? His language teacher had never taught them, right?

"What's that smell?"

Having only just recovered from the intense transformation, Little Peter nearly threw up. It smelled far too awful.

And what was this black, greasy layer on his skin?

"Ugh, it stinks! Peter Parker, go take a bath right now!"

"Okay, okay!"

It had been too shocking. Peter Parker's mind was still somewhat numb.

Could this be Marrow Cleansing?

"Marrow Cleansing"—another strange new term. Could wearing Women's Clothing also grant him new knowledge?

This was far too miraculous!

Watching Peter Parker enter the bathroom—oh no, Miss Mayday—Rimuru was still completely stunned.

"Marrow Cleansing... Holy crap, giving someone a name can really make them stronger!"

Rimuru was practically dancing with joy. If Peter Parker—oh no, Mayday Parker—had not still been in the bathroom, she would have nearly howled aloud.

Spidey really was useful!
